Spell check/grammer check

When typing or pasting text into a new Word document, everything is underlined with a curvy line.
 
 
I can't seem to find a way to turn off this feature.  Any suggestions?

    What version of Word do you have?

    Sorry, I can't help you with that version.  A newer version, yes.

    In Word XP or 2003, go to Tools | options | Spelling and Grammar and look at the tick boxes under Grammar. Also look at adjustments that can be made in the Settings button.

    Several times when I have done the same thing, either the red wavy line (spelling error) or the green wavy line (grammatical error) appears. It is always worth right clicking the sentence/word to see if there is an mistake. If there is nothing wrong with the sentence/word, the line disappears just as mysteriously.

    I can't find it just at the moment, but for Office 2003 there is a Microsoft update on proofing tools - have a look on the Microsoft Update site. This might cure the problem.

    I posted just a few seconds too late. However, I think that, in Word 97, the route to the grammar checker is more or less the same.

    The problem you are facing is rare. I use this grammar check for checking grammar.
